    Mary replied to the topic In An Emergency, Let Them Know You Have LEMS in the forum Living With LEMS 1 month ago

    I requested mine today. Thank you! I had to go to ER with weakness and it was hard to get the information out to people. This will be beneficial if it happens again in the future to me.

    Mary replied to the topic Speaking, Swallowing, and the "LEMS Voice" in the forum Living With LEMS 1 month ago

    I experience all you state. I couldnt swallow properly before diagnosis. My weight went down to 99lbs. Once i got on Firdapse the feeding tube came out and i can eat all day. I have gained 30lbs.
    My voice still comes and goes. The best time to talk is between doses. I use Biotene for dry mouth during the night. Dry mouth is aggrevating. I feel it…[Read more]

    Mary replied to the topic Swallowing Problems with LEMS and MG in the forum General Questions and Topics 8 months ago

    I walked down the same road. I lost alot of weight not wanting to risk blockage. It got out of control. I ended up with a feeding tube. Im able to swallow better now with treatment. Jumping on this issue right away is really smart.

    That does make me nervous. My insurance company pays a huge amount each month for Firdapse. Im afraid that wont last long either.

    Mary replied to the topic Neurologist Visit – “You Look Great!” Pt. 2 in the forum General Questions and Topics 8 months, 4 weeks ago

    I have gone through everything you just said. It is frustrating. Because you look good for your 15min it doesnt tell it 2 days to prepare for it. It seems that professionals i have gone to seem only what to address basic health issues. If the issue is deeper and more complicated i have to do my own research. He will do what i read but to give me…[Read more]

    It was my fault. I wanted to confirm that my insurance would pay for last month. It took too long. I’ll be on that faster this month

    Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I was down for 2hrs. My whole face went numb Finally got to speak to my doctor.  He was confused or just not listening. Anyone who tried to take my message couldnt identify what I was talking about.  He said I should go back to prior dosage. I’m going back to the 15mg for awhile more. If I find I h…[Read more]

    Mary replied to the topic FIRDAPSE side effects: Does everyone experience them? in the forum Amifampridine (Firdapse and Ruzurgi) 10 months, 3 weeks ago

    I just bumped up to 20mg Firdapse. The side effect is reasonably scary. Double vision, numb face from nose down to chin. At 15mg it wasnt like this. I’m thinking of going back to 15mg. 15mg worked fine. It got me off the walker in the house and dont have the pain and weakness in my legs and arms. In the long run is 20mg part of the end result to…[Read more]

    Price the only appointment i could get in our area for the Moderna Covid shot was 3 days after my IVIG and steroid infusions are tomorrow and every 2 weeks. Covid shot Wednesday. Appointments for the Covid injection is really hard to get and will be worse when it opens up for everyone.
